BSP: There is commitment for accepting unlimited number of migrants in exchange for partial Schengen

BSP leader Korneliya Ninova has announced at a briefing that what the government said on the subject of "Schengen" did not fully reveal the commitments made by Bulgaria, BNR reporter Maria Fileva has informed. According to Ninova, the cabinet had made a commitment to accept back an unlimited number of asylum seekers in exchange of partial Schengen membership.

According to the leader of the socialists, this was clear from a document signed by Austria, Bulgaria and Romania containing the specific commitments of the Bulgarian side, which was published today on the website of the Council of the EU. "I would say that the government is spreading disinformation," Ninova commented. According to the BSP, Bulgaria deserves full membership in the Schengen area and the agreement has undeservedly defined Bulgaria as a second-rate country.
